When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad, it's as close to healthy as I ever feel.
Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won't be dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for somebody else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overwhelmed with what comes back. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Whenever you have two characters in a book, whether it's a novel or nonfiction, you run the risk that the reader is going to like one more than the other. They're going to read one chapter and say, 'I can't wait to get back to the other guy.' ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Everyone joins a band in this life. One way or another, the band breaks up. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
You only have peace when you make it with yourself. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
The things you spend so much time on
all this work you do
might not seem as important. You might have to make room for some more spiritual things. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
But her absence was like a character in it. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Happiness in a tablet. This is our world. Prozac. Daxil. Xanax. Billions are spent to advertise such drugs. And billions are spent purchasing them. You don't even need a specific trauma, just 'general depression' is enough, or anxiety, as if sadness is as treatable as the common cold. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
The old man asked again. "When I'm gone." His eyes blinked from behind his glasses. His neatly trimmed beard was gray, and he stood slightly stooped. Are you dying? I asked. "Not yet," he said, grinning. Then why - "Because I think you would ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search.

"And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end?"

I shrugged.

"You see?"

He leaned back. He smiled.

"When you come to the end, that's where God begins. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Dor remembered Victor's voice.
And while they deepen with age, voices
are, to one destined to listen for eternity,
as distinct as a fingerprint. Dor knew it
was him the moment Victor spoke in the
shop. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
The only thing scarier than leaving a small town is never leaving it at all. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Forgive yourself. Forgive others. Don't wait, Mitch. Not everyone gets the time I'm getting. Not everyone is as lucky." I ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
EVERYONE JOINS A BAND IN THIS LIFE. You are born into your first one. Your mother plays the lead. She shares the stage with your father and siblings. Or perhaps your father is absent, an empty stool under a spotlight. But he is still a founding member, and if he surfaces one day, you will have to make room for him. As life goes on, you will join other bands, some through friendship, some through romance, some through neighborhoods, school, an army. Maybe you will all dress the same, or laugh at your own private vocabulary. Maybe you will flop on couches backstage, or share a boardroom table, or crowd around a galley inside a ship. But in each band you join, you will play a distinct part, and it will affect you as much as you affect it. And, as is usually the fate with bands, most of them will break up - through distance, differences, divorce, or death. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
I thought about how often this was needed in everyday life. How we feel lonely, sometimes to the point of tears, but we don't let those tears come because we are not supposed to cry. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
She had been so consumed with escaping her own misery, she hadn't considered the misery she might inflict. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
She cared. She gave a crap. When I lacked even the self-respect to keep myself alive, she dabbed my cuts and I fell back into being a son; I fell as easily as you fall into your pillow at night. And I didn't want it to end. That's the best way I can explain it. I knew it was impossible. But I didn't want it to end. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
And one day spent with someone you love can change everything. I ~ Mitch Albom

or you will be useless. ~ Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
At that moment i felt lonelier than i'd ever felt before, and that loneliness seemed to squat in my lungs and crush all but my most minimal breathing. There was nothing left to say. Not about this. Not about anything. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
And thus, unknowingly, did Dor begin to serve his sentence - to hear every plea from every soul who desired more of the thing he had first identified, the thing that moved man further from the simple light of existence and deeper into the darkness of his own obsessions. Time. It seemed to be running too fast for everyone but him. ~ Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
I believe he died this way on purpose. I believe he wanted no chilling moments, no one to witness his last breath and be haunted by it, the way he had been haunted by his mother's death-notice telegram or by his father's corpse in the city morgue. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
I made such a fool of myself," she lamented.

"Sometimes never. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Loyalty ruled this woman's soul, but loyalty needs a partner. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Will share a secret: this is how talents are bestowed. Before newborns open their eyes, we circle them, appearing as brilliant colors, and when they clench their tiny hands for the first time, they are actually grabbing the colors they find most appealing. Those talents are with them for life. The lucky ones (well, in my opinion, the lucky ones) choose me. Music. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Why is it so hard to think about dying? "Because," Morrie continued, "most of us all walk around as if we're sleepwalking. We really don't experience the world fully, because we're half-asleep, doing things we automatically think we have to do." And facing death changes all that? "Oh, yes. You strip away all that stuff and you focus on the essentials. When you realize you are going to die, you see everything much differently. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
All weddings ... It never changes, when the groom lifts the veil, when the bride accepts the ring, the possibilities you see in their eyes, it's the same around the world. They truly believe their love and their marriage is going to break all records. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
What you have done to this point cannot be undone. What you do next ... It is still unwritten. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
You might think a person who brings proof of heaven would be embraced. But even in the presence of a miracle, the human heart will say, 'Why not me? ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
It's always difficult to watch someone you love die. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
When a lost loved one appears before you, it's your brain that fights it, not your heart. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Lost love is still love, Eddie. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it. "Life has to end," she said. "Love doesn't. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
All humans are musical. Why else would the Lord give you a beating heart? ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
No, Edward. You are here so I can teach you something. All the people you meet here have one thing to teach you. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Maybe death is the great equalizer, the one big thing that can finally make strangers shed a tear for one another ~ Morrie Schwartz.
Mitch Albom quotes by Morrie Schwartz.
You were one person, and you changed the world. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
But now I gotta pay,' he said.
To pay?'
For my sin. That's why I'm here, right? Justice?'
The Blue Man smiled. 'No, Edward. You are here so I can teach you something. All the people you meet here have one thing to teach you...That there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more seperate a breeze from the wind.'
...'It was my stupidity, running out there like that. Why should you have to die on account of me? It ain't fair.'
The Blue Man held out his hand. 'Fairness,' he said, 'does not govern life and death. If it did, no good person would ever die young...Why people gather when others die? Why people feel they should?
It is because the human spirit knows, deep down, that all lives intersect. That death doesn't just take someone, it misses someone else, and in the small distance between being taken and being missed, lives are changed.
You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.'
... 'I still don't understand,' Eddie whispered. 'What good came from your death?'
You lived,' the Blue Man answered.
But we barely knew each other. I might as well ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
It is too late."
The old man shook his head. "It is never too late or too soon. It is when it is supposed to be."
He smiled. "There is a plan, Dor. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
He stayed that way for a while, fallen man, porcelain angel, as if the two of them waited for a bus. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
There is a time for hello and a time for good-bye. It's why the act of burying thing seems natural, but the act of digging them up does not. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
No story sits by itself, Sometimes stories meet at corners and sometimes they cover one another completely, like stones beneath a river. ~ Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Sometimes during the night, your father awakened. He rose from his bed, staggered across the room, and found the strength to raise the window sash. He called your mother's name with what little voice he had, and he called yours, too, and your brother, Joe. And he called for Mickey. At that moment, it seemed, his heart was spilling out, all the guilt and regret. Perhaps he felt the light of death approaching. Perhaps he only knew you were all out there somewhere, in the streets beneath his window. He bent over the ledge. The night was chilly. The wind and damp, in his state, were too much. He was dead before dawn. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Life is a series of pulls back and forth ... A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. Most of us live somewhere in the middle. A wrestling match ... Which side win? Love wins. Love always wins ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Death is the end of a lifetime, not the end of a relationship. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
I never said good-bye.'
'Such a needless word, she said, 'when you love somebody. ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Mortality means you don't have forever to work things out. You can live your life unexamined but then on the last day you're going to think: 'I've left things a little late.' ~ Mitch Albom
Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
Had he known his death was imminent, he might have gone somewhere else. Instead, he did what we all do. He went about his dull routine as if all the days in the world were still to come. ~ Mitch Albom

Mitch Albom quotes by Mitch Albom
